Abstract
An evaluation is presented on state-of-the-art radon daughter control measures for proposed structures which have radon exhalation through the foundations. Five technologies are evaluated for cost-effectiveness: ventilation, polymeric sealants, excavation, ventilated crawl space construction, and improved slab construction. The implementation of these control measures by the builder through interaction with local health authorities is also evaluated.
Notes
